My experience working with Two Trees Distilling was deeply disappointing and, at times, emotionally distressing. I was brought in to help raise the public profile of a celebrity associated with the brand—a project I carried forward with dedication, strategy, and tangible results.
However, throughout the process, I was subjected to persistent micromanagement, internal sabotage, and hostile leadership dynamics. In particular, the company allowed a manager—Becca—to weaponize both her personal background and her position of authority to undermine and harass me. Rather than collaborating on long-term vision, the internal culture centered on ego, gatekeeping, and power plays.
There was an active effort to discredit my work, manipulate narratives, and put me in a situation where I was being set up to fail—despite having brought the brand to the point of acquisition by MDWerks in Florida. Sadly, those in leadership, including then-interim CEO Joe, and Chad, both supported the abuse and failed to intervene or support a healthy workplace culture.
The experience mirrored past betrayals I’ve encountered, like being taken advantage of by Zero Zen Design years ago when building a community platform with my family—a dream that was hijacked by elitists. It’s painful to see this pattern repeat in spaces where the mission was once about community, collaboration, and trust.
I share this not to cause harm, but to raise awareness. These behaviors harm not only individuals but also the integrity of the local community. I build things that bring people together; I don’t tear them down. But silence enables cycles to repeat—and I refuse to be...

After the tasting, I had a headache that would not go away for 2 days and I could not get the taste of it out of my system for 3 weeks. It reminded me of low grade shine that was filtered through a used car oil filter. I would prefer to drink Military Special over their straight line. That said, their pre-made old fashioned was actually pretty good and I did buy a bottle of it. I think what their bourbon and whiskey is lacking is the true aging from being aged in barrels for years not 24 hours with the wood inside the plastic barrel. Great in theory just completely appalling to my pallet. The staff was very friendly and like I said, I appreciate their goal I just do not think it is...
   Read moreSo I came across the video for Two Trees Distillery Whiskey. I became intrigued. The love of whiskey and the history... We decided to purchase the Sea Salted Carmel. The Golden Honey color of the Whiskey matching the color of the label nice touch for every delicate detail I pay attention to. Un-corking released a small thank you for opening me followed by sweet Carmel aroma. Immediately my taste buds awoke by happiness. Pouring a shot was a delight with smells of carmel. There was no way I was going to "Down the Hatch" with this delightful treat. A sip. The aroma. Flooding my taste buds with Carmel and hints of Oak the Sea Salt annouced itself. The warmness reminded me of cold nights which this delicious whiskey warmed my soul. Yes.... I poured another pairing with warm Homemade Double Chocolate Cookies. These to loves....go very...
